The Danville Register and Bee says a federal judge sentenced Fofana on Monday to four years in prison. Keita received a two-and-a-half-year sentence. Korte was sentenced to three years and eight months. All three defendants received credit for time already served.

Fofana, Keita and Konte are among nine people charged in the case. Five co-defendants were sentenced earlier. Another is awaiting sentencing.
